Summertime fun is on tap for everyone

Summer is colored with brilliant hues and clever clues. Today our deep-thinkers share all kinds of ideas to spin fun into sunny days. Our many topics are sure to give readers answers of their own as they read what kids said. I put cloth, ribbon and scissors on my table and invited kids of all ages to invent something. One boy who is going into first grade fashioned a family with three babies by using the cloth, a stapler, and permanent markers. Another group made a fake village using rocks, sticks, and leaves. Kids can have fun with almost anything.

If I could afford it, I'd take a trip to the Bahamas or some other place in the Caribbean Islands. This would be the perfect place to spend summer.

Yesenia Alanis, Senior Grad

I'm going to get ready for college this summer. If I had money to do it, I'd travel to Italy and study art history.

Sami J. Burks, Senior Grad

I'll be at football practice all summer.

David Geissen, Grade 10

This summer I am going to get ready for college at Chico State, and I'll also continue swimming for the Vacaville Swim Team. If I have time, I would like to spend some days driving down the California Coast.

Brenna Schafer, Senior Grad

I'm getting ready to go to college and possibly taking some summer classes, too. Also, I'll be working at my job in the Gap store in the Vacaville Outlets. I'm saving up some money before I attend Sacramento State next fall.

Kathleen Pucci, Senior Grad

I'm going to Cabo, San Lucas, Mexico, with my family. If I had money I would spend it on a "Meet and Greet" with Justin Bieber, because he's amazing.

Katherine Feaster, Senior Grad

I'd like to get students together to paint a mural for the school library.

Gabby Delgado, Grade 11

It would be good to find ways to help the homeless and underprivileged.

Marisol D. Grade 12

I'd like to go to Hawaii and go surfing. Maybe I'd get swept away by a big wave and then I'd join a mermaid colony.

Madison Hull, Grade 4, Alamo

My choice for summer would be Pismo Beach because the waves are not too big and the water is not too cold. It's fun there!

Birdy Simon, Grade 6, Markham

If I could choose to go anywhere for vacation, I'd choose between Pismo Beach, Cancun, Paris, or London.

Cassidy Simon, Grade 8, Jepson

I would like to paint a big picture of passion, (I don't know what that word means, but I heard it somewhere and I like it,) on a big wall at Best Buy. That's my favorite store because it has iPhones and iTunes and other good stuff.

A boy, Grade 3, Browns Valley

Somebody should write a story about a Zombie attack. Zombies could be the new thriller, like Vampires in the Twilight series. Don't think of romance with Zombies, though. Gross!
